OpenGL 3 Updates

[Brolingstanz]

Just hang on there a few more months guys.

That's been the story of OpenGL; "wait a little longer! good things are coming we promise!"

The good news is that at least we now have a definitive date for an update, which is really what most folks are clamoring for.

Now if everyone can make it through the summer without something to complain about. My right eye is already beginning to twitch a little...

<relevant joke>
This guy says to his shrink, "Doc, it's my brother... he thinks he's a chicken.
Doc says, "So, why don't you turn him in?"
Guy says, "I would but I need the eggs."
</joke>

I believe that until now, on ATI you can't make a FBO that has a stencil buffer.

You can. There is EXT_packed_depth_stencil, really.

Any chance to get a beta or alpha to play with in mean time?

There isn't even a spec yet....

excuses...

[bobvodka]

well, no.
Without a spec it's pretty hard to have an alpha version :P
Even if you installed a driver tomorrow with GL3.0 support it would be no good as you wouldn't know how to use it

Now, if he meant 'alpha spec', well that just ain't gonna happen as Khronos doesn't roll that way. And even with an 'alpha' spec you'd still have no implimenntation to play with.

@bobvodka - I believe LogicalError was simply sarcastic

Where is GL3.0! LOL ok in all seriousness, how many of you are thinking of moving to DX10? Curious to know how bad Khronos is killing off GL developers. My problem is OSX/Linux will never have DX and I can't see Apple, Sony, does Nintendo use GL? allowing DX getting ahead of GL, then there would be a graphics difference. As of now ATI sucks for GL, where Nvidia has opened up much of DX10 features through extensions. Anyway just everyone hold out till Sig08 and see what happens...
